ScholarGrid: A Full-Stack Academic Collaboration Platform with Community-Driven Quality Layers

Abstract: Academic collaboration in higher education is frequently hindered by fragmented resources across unorganized platforms. This paper introduces ScholarGrid, a centralized full-stack solution designed to streamline note- sharing and academic communication. Built using React 19 and FastAPI, the platform implements a community-driven quality layer featuring star ratings and peer reviews to ensure content reliability. Additionally, the integration of Socket.io enables real-time, subject-specific chat channels. Our methodology employs an iterative development model, resulting in a scalable architecture that bridges the gap between informal messaging and structured learning management systems.
